It now looks like Bridcutt will be following Wood out of the door I liked Wood and thought he was outstanding for us last year and would have got us 20 goals this time around BUT that is because our whole game revolved around him and our one plan was to feed him the ball so he could score (which he did) - we can , if we get the right replacement or if Ekuban comes good, be a much different team up front and get more players to score the same amount of goals.I am not sure if his two misses this season are due to him not fitting into our new way of playing or just bad luck / poor finishing. Wood liked the ball crossed to his feet , not being played through against the keeper.
I think he will do Ok for Burnley (but don't care one way or the other) and I do not blame any player for going to a Premier League club - the timing of Wood's move does stink a bit - everyone knew or could anticipate after his goals last season that someone would make an offer for him. I hope that we have been making a few discreet enquiries behind the scenes and find a good replacement without having to act hastily I am impressed with Radz comments about how and why he left and even better I like the free refund on 'Wood 9' shirts - a good move Re Bridcutt - I liked him when he was on loan but never really got the clamour for us to sign him. Once he became a permanent player he did have as many poor games as good and I do prefer Vieira to him, I think Vieira has a lot more to offer. Given that he is 5th in line for 2 positions , maybe 6th if Anita is veiwed as a centre mid - O'Kane and Phillips look like first choice with Vieira and Klitch as back-up, I understand why Bridcutt wants to go. I would make sure he cannot play against us on Saturday since he is capable of doing well in any given game. I was very impressed with the Sunderland performance and hope that Saiz and Alioski can really kick on from that game. Maybe Roofe, with whom I am losing belief and patience, will get the chance to play up front tomorrow v Newport and get a couple of goals I know nothing about Gestede or Van Grot, two players we are being linked with - not sure about Rhodes or Nanki Wells either - I think they have a lot of faults in their games but in the right team they could do OK _______________________________________________ Leedslist mailing list Info and options: https://mailman.gn.apc.org/mailman/listinfo/leedslist To unsubscribe, email [email protected] FLAME WARS 'R US
